Saw that awhile ago. We have no need for it. Our equipment is comparable, and custom built.

Dayum.
Thank you so much. I guess there's still plenty of work to do, but it's good to know at least 2 reels are now complete. Could you kindly debrief us whenever you finish a reel?
If I'm allowed to ask, the old blog used to have completion rates for every single one of the reels, which gave us a good idea of the progress. Would it be possible for you to give us an update on this?

don't worry, we plan to spread it out
much like harmy has done with his
latest project. newsgroups, torrents,
and file sharing sites.
just have to make sure
that the files are not corrupted. that
seems to be an issue at times.

By the way, could you guys do something extra-nice and include instructions on how to properly burn the film to a DVD/Bluray? I don't do it often, and I keep forgetting how to do it every time I burn a new release. Besides I think I'm not alone in this matter.
You niggas just promise me you'll put it on myspleen whenever it's ready. Makes sharing with the bruthas a lot more easy, if you know what I'm sayin'.
I believe the mods should clear much of the evidence on this thread, since it may call undesired attention. Remember that these forums are public, and anyone without an account can read this thread.

I tell you, this detail-recovery thing looks amazing, and I get how it basically works. In a stationary shot like this every frame of a print has a different part of the negative detail in it, and he's taking all that detail and combining it back together.
Pardon me if I sound like a sycophant, I'm not, I'm just amazed by what he's doing and I support it.
You know, since he's not sharing the results of his work with us, he could at least share the tools to help other people involved in restoration projects, since they apparently work so well. However, he doesn't even do that. And that's what annoys me the most in his attitude so far.
Sad. Seemed to be coming along nicely though. As Vader would put it, most impressive, but not a jedi yet.

'i don't believe it! - that is why you fail!'
Yeah, I still haven't seen anything, so I'll just chill by my sunken X-Wing in the meantime.
Whatever. Wake me up when there's a torrent. And given this is on a stage that goes little beyond speculation, I might sleep longer than Ripley.
See you in the future, boys.
I remember searching for this for a long time, but was unable to find it. Could anyone PM me a link if possible?

Erica swears that she met him once, and fondly remembers him telling her stories about his mis-adventures on the set, and being ignored by the 'real cast' of Star Wars.
You mean... Erica Campbell in your avatar?
I meant the scrolling intro (can't remember the exact name). But then again it might have been due to the bugged burning process.
Currently I'm about halfway through it. Will watch the rest tomorrow. So far I'm not too sure about the colour correction. Jabba's palace seems a bit too bright for my taste (but I'm used to my old videotape recordings, so my opinion is a bit biased). There's also some ugly colouring in the "soon you'll learn to appreciate me" shot; did you use the GOUT for that one? It looks a bit off. I do however love the subtitle font, as it is pretty close of the original burned-ins.
As for the menus, I think they could've used a bit more work. I was scared out of my ass when the main theme blew all out of the sudden with no previous warning. Perhaps a little fade in could've eased it out. That, or simply picking another tune.What I really don't like, however, is the menu font. It just looks too bland and doesn't match the background at all. I do like the chapter selection menu however. Seems pretty tight.
Oh, and you could've hidden the "secret" a bit better. A cute extra though.
Video bugged after the credits but did fine after skipping the chapter. Detected what think it's a remaining SE CGI bit. At 00.16:20 you can see some kind of animated sand toad eating a bug. Don't remember seeing it in the originals, but then again I haven't watched ROTJ in a long time.
Just finished burning and preliminary testing. Apparently it's running despite many errors during recording. Let's see how this baby handles a full sreening.
I want to believe.
Still downloading. Any final menu and extra features screenshots btw?
Oh, that's even better then.
You'll have to initiate me to usenet and all that jazz though. I have been waiting for something like this to ask someone.
Labrat reporting.
I was comforting a depressed friend because his slutty ex had made a cuckhold out of him. I actually thought it was pretty well deserved because we had warned him quite a few times before it happened for real. While he was preparing to unleash another one of his tantrums I suddenly say the following lines, making my best Emperor impersonation (which is fairly good): "Good, good. The dark side is strong in you. Now witness the FIREPOWER of this fully armed and OPE-RA-TIONAL BATTLESTATION!".
He immediately tried to kick my ass while me and my (other) friend were laughing our asses off.
I'm not too sure about the colours yet, but given that it worked out quite well for the ESB logo, what about hollowing out this one as well, leaving a simple black or light gray outline with a white filling? The problem is that the logo has very little space between the various letters which makes it look like an inkblot at a distance, especially when painted black or with any other strong filling. Hollowing it out kinda solves that issue.
Alternatively a light gray filling with an even lighter gray outline could produce some interesting results too. But I'm still inclined towards a hollowed version.
And could please save these in PNG instead? They're really hard to edit when saved in jpeg, not to mention inferior printing quality.
Size-wise looks a lot nicer, but I think the pilot looked better where he was before. It's a bit hard to judge though. I'll leave it to you (can't stay here all night also).
Aight, we cool then, bro?
Hum, perhaps the title could be a bit smaller. It's taking too much space. Also black may seem like an excessive contrast. What about playing around with a few alternative colours?
And on a small sidenote, you're quite good with this vector stuff. Which software do you use?
